exercise therapy

An exercise therapy program may include exercises to:

Maximise physical abilities

Optimise muscular functioning

Improve physical fitness

Improve general health and wellbeing.

Exercise therapy uses specific stylised movements to improve the way the body functions. It focuses on moving the body and its different parts to relieve symptoms and improve mobility – and of course levels of fitness. You can use exercise therapy for the prevention and management of pain and along the way, get to know your body and the way it works better.

Injuries happen and chronic conditions slowly emerge, and sometimes we just move our bodies in ways that they aren’t quite meant for, and doing this over a lifetime can cause injury and pain. A range of therapeutic exercise options are often recommended for injury prevention and rehabilitation, and can also be used to address faulty movement patterns that may have been the cause of an injury.
